CHOCOLATE AND CHERRY TORTE
I saw a request for fresh cherry recipes, and decided to post this. I've made it a few times, once using drained tinned cherries and it was still great. The recipe might look involved, but it's not-it's simple. Prep time doesn't include chilling. *please note there are 4 teaspoons to every Australian tablespoon. It's not hard to work out, but it is important to remember :-)
